Tried and tried to keep my interest in swtor alive, but the lifeless worlds and a total lack of dynamic content just leave me with no connection to the universe at all. So many corners were cut... cyborg implants sinking into faces, broken class cinematics still broken after all this time, closed in worlds of corridors, the linear levelling, visual bugs, terrain bugs, falling through floors/ceilings/grass bugs, rezzing in pvp stuck to the floor... all playable races based off the same humanoid model, droids working off that same model... /stuck exploiting in pvp, reused instances in class missions (e.g. knight/trooper both using the same space station for their level 40 class quests), kill x number of dudes quests everywhere... lousy graphics, server lag, absurd amounts of downtime for oceanic players (we had 4 out of 7 nights primetime lost a few weeks back). Still no cross-realm pvp or pve, no direction, no communication, no changes. EA/BW just seem content to repeat the same mistakes others have made again and again expect different outcomes: Friends want me to play GW2 with them, not sure if it'll keep me interested, but either way I'm done here.

I was only able to do so much damage because there was so much healing from the other side, there aren't great masses of people wondering around in huttball to aoe like there are on coast/voidstar/alderaan. We won that game against a far better geared team (they did more damage and healing, we got more objective points) through good ball movement and player control. Surely you'd agree that having a 30 yard range snare as a melee class is very useful in huttball. Hi, dirty fighting does better single target sustained damage than scrapper right now, was actually talking to a scoundrel from the guild who isn't playing at the moment last night, he had the same complaints, asked how I got around the slow from running back after dying. I said the trick is not to die. I know, I know it's not fair that the spec is bugged, but this game has more bugs than Paris Hilton's crotch and BW does not seem to be in any hurry to fix them. If you've got smuggled defenses, defense screen is up every 30 seconds, seeing that it lasts for 15, you can activate it early when you know damage is coming, and by the time it goes down, the ability is ready again. We also get 30 seconds off escape, the speed boost from imp dirty kick and 15% less damage from periodic effects. I only tried dirty fighting a few patches back because I was sick of not being able to get out of combat as a scrapper, and that problem is still around. Perhaps it's a difference of opinion on playstyle, if getting out of combat in swtor made more sense I might still be scrapper, but because it can take such a long time to get out of combat, I figure I'm better off as a build that is built around being in combat, instead of a build built around coming out of stealth into combat.

There are unfortunately nowhere near as many teams queueing up as I thought there would be, playing the same team over and over until they give up and leave is a bit boring. This feeds into; "don't bother queueing for ranked, x guild is playing" which means even less games to play. I hope to hear that cross-server ranked WZs are days or weeks, not months away.

what being discussed in this thread is downtime impacting people from 5-11pm, 3 nights out of the last 4, thanks.

I never want to leave this bracket, every game can go either way, gear counts for nothing because everybody has their stats boosted to a level 49, it all comes down to teamwork and skill, this is the most fun I've had in pvp probably since tarren mill/southshore. The best part is that I run at a profit, I'm used to the WoW system of slowly having your money slip away from repairs. My only concern is that I know if I keep playing as much as I do I'll hit 50 on my characters one day from the small xp gains. Because there are no repair bills I dump the credits into professions and companion gifts, not sure what I'll do with the money when those are maxed. p.s. no I'm not a 49 assassin, I run a 20s operative and 30s commando p.p.s. yes I've been playing since beta and had neglected 10-49 pvp all these months, big mistake

nope.

top the boards in 10-49? anybody can do that http://img286.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=554507212_Screenshot_2012_04_25_21_42_08_293530_122_6lo.jpg (yes I waited my whole life for this moment in this thread)

3 out of the 4 pvp games I played today, I respawned stunned or knocked down and was unable to move or do anything, relogging doesn't fix the problem. I suppose players have figured out how to do it consistently because it's gone from once a week to once a day to once an hour and now once a game.

well written, would read again

was a hard call to make but I won't be coming back, enjoyed the time I spent though. as to why I'm leaving, I have no short answer.
